Thorsten Hohage

Prof. Thorsten Hohage is a Full Professor at the Institute for Numerical and Applied Mathematics, Georg-August University of Göttingen since 2009. He leads the Inverse Problems Group, focusing on computational and theoretical aspects of inverse problems in partial differential equations, regularization theory, and numerical algorithms. His research spans applications in optics, medical imaging (MRI), helioseismology, and X-ray phase contrast imaging.

**Career**:

• Full Professor (W3) since 2009
• Associate Professor (W2) 2007–2009
• Junior Professor 2002–2007
• Postdoc at Zuse Institute Berlin (2000–2002)
• Research Assistant at Johannes-Kepler University Linz (1996–2000)

**Research Interests**:

• Inverse scattering and PDE-based inverse problems
• Regularization theory for statistical and deterministic inverse problems
• Efficient numerical methods (e.g., learned infinite elements)
• Applications in helioseismology, phase retrieval, and medical imaging

**Notable Contributions**: Developed methodologies for transparent boundary conditions, variational source conditions, and regularization techniques in Besov spaces. His work bridges theory and practice in computational inverse problems.

**Affiliations**: Member of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (since 2017) and part of the GGNB Physics of Biological and Complex Systems program.
